Mel’s Fantasy Team Selection - Week 14

Week 14 happens mid-week, so please remember to change your team by tonight 20:00 SGT.

Dismal week 13 for me. My midfield returned an astonishing 7.50 points. Valencia didn’t even make it to the bench. Everton only managed a 1-1 draw at home to Norwich, with Jelly doing absolutely nothing. Ppppppffffff. QPR did surprisingly well in the first half, but finally crumbled at the end. RVP was kept relatively quiet throughout the game, so no great points from him too. The only saving grace was Defoe with his 2 goals. All this adds up to 56 points for me. Bad bad week.

I have decided to keep Lloris for week 14 since I got him on the cheap last week. The other option was Guzan. But I have really exhausted my funds and could not afford the bargain of 3.98 for him.

Shotton should continue with Wilkinson still out. 8.50 points last week at 3-ish price and playing at home again means he is doing something right. Vert stays as usual. I have very minimal funds left for the third defender. Its a toss up between Fabio and Lichaj. Both are not really in the 1st 11  for their respective teams. Swayed towards Lichaj since Villa will be playing at home and Vlaar is an injury doubt.

At his BD price of 7-ish, its hard to find a player like Michu. He is playing very high up for Swansea and they are playing at home. Just in case you are thinking of dropping him, I think its about time for him to start scoring again. The premium for Lallana was too much and had to settle for Ramirez, who is not a bad choice too. Southampton plays fellow promoter Norwich at home and are on a good run of form. I guess like everyone else, I am jumping on the “other team” vs QPR bandwagon. I doubt Harry will be able to save QPR from the drop. Sunderland should have an easy time, so Sess will be in. Cazorla had a poor week 13 by his standards. Arsenal visits Everton, and with Fellaini back, they can expect a tough tough match. Will be sticking with Cazorla though, he’s too good and too expensive to sell now.

RVP will be looking to put the QPR game behind him and put on his scoring boots vs West Ham. The Hammers are bad travellers and their defending was pretty awful last week vs Spurs. Last chance for newly appointed Benitez to get a win before he gets the boot haha. Torres still looks dead to me and Mata is too pricey. Hazard seems a good choice for now. The Sunderland vs QPR bandwagon will be completed with Fletcher. I’m expecting great things from him in this game.
